Ⅰ.阅读理解
Travel is one of the most exciting experiences that a human being can have.Imagine how Italian traveller Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he'd seen before.
And how marvelous must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia His brain must have been packed with everything he'd seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road.
Some people have travelled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them.They perhaps know what to expect before they travel.That's why the best travel is when it's for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States.Of course, they've probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights.But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.
Although travel is often just for recreation,_it's also educational. We may not know that we are getting education, but we still are.
We're learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life.But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not in the classroom.One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one.As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn't necessarily the best way.The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Singapore is a city-state in Southeast Asia.Thanks to a program, we got a chance to explore the Garden City for one day.
First, we headed to the Gardens by the Bay.We were attracted by the Supertrees at once.They are high-rise gardens, which produce electricity using energy from the sun, collect rainwater, and more.From there, we headed to the Cloud Forest, which I found most amazing in this Garden City.In hot and wet Singapore, this is a great place to cool off.Inside, a large waterfall comes down the side of the “cloud mountain.” This intricate structure (错综复杂的建筑) is divided into three levels and contains plants from different places.Visitors are free to walk around and learn more about all of the plants.Our journey then led us to a theater inside the Cloud Forest where we watched a ten-minute film.I was totally taken aback by what I saw.I had never realized that our planet would change so greatly when the temperature increased by just five degrees.
Then we headed back outside and continued on our walk.Between two of the larger Supertrees, you'll find the Skyway.Visitors can head to the top to enjoy a fantastic bird's eye view of the city.
Next, we made our way to the Singapore River, where we saw a boat going by.In search of food, we headed into the Marina Bay Sands.It has what has to be the best food court I've ever eaten in, with delicious food from all over the world.We ordered different kinds of dishes, which were all tasty.
Needing to walk off that huge lunch, we walked from one side of the river to the other.On the other side, we found Merlion, the symbol (象征) of Singapore.Water flows out of the mouth of this amazing creation all day long.While walking along the riverside and enjoying the beautiful view, I couldn't help but wish we had more time to explore this Garden City.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My sister Priscilla and I just came back from a week-long vacation in Portugal with lots of photos.I'll remember so many wonderful things about my trip to the cities of Lisbon and Porto, but one experience in particular sticks out, something that happened on our last night in Lisbon.
Before the trip, I put together a very detailed route of places to see.One of the must-visit places on my list was Livraria do Sim o, the smallest bookstore in Lisbon.On our very first day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I searched for it.We found the oldest bookstore in the world.But the smallest one was impossible to find! Back at the hotel, where we had Wi-Fi, I looked the bookstore up again, hoping we'd have time to find it on another day.But our schedule was delayed, and we probably wouldn't have time to look for it.
On our last full day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I took a day trip to Cascais, a coastal town outside the city.We decided, at the last minute, to visit a historic flea market (跳蚤市场)．We walked for about an hour, up many steep hills.When we finally reached the market, completely out of breath, all the sellers were closing up.Not to mention that we were both tired and hungry.Priscilla and I argued over the directions.I insisted we turn right, which ended up being another hard decision.We climbed up more steep hills, farther and farther away from any area we recognized.We made another right turn onto a random street and Priscilla stopped to check the map.Meanwhile, I looked up at the street sign, Rua da Madalena.I'd heard that name before.We continued a little farther up the street, and I spotted a few people hanging out in a lane.There was something particularly familiar about the scene.I looked closer.There was a small store practically hidden in the lane.It had books in its windows.

Paragraph 1：
Oh my goodness! The bookstore! The very one I'd so badly wanted to find on our very first day in Lisbon. I took lots of photos of it with my phone in amazement. My delight must have been noticeable because one of the guys standing outside the store started telling me that it's the smallest bookshop in the world! He was the owner of the bookstore. He led us inside the bookshop, which was no bigger than a walk-in closet. There was a desk at one end and shelves lined with books all round.
Paragraph 2：
Soon, it was time for us to say goodbye. I couldn't stop smiling. We hadn't just visited the smallest bookstore in Lisbon. We'd met the owner and taken a tour inside! If we hadn't decided to visit the flea market at the last minute, if I hadn't insisted we turn right, if we hadn't gotten lost ... That moment in Lisbon wasn't just a coincidence to me. It was a reminder that when you lose your way, it will still lead you exactly where you need to be.UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测（三） 阅读写作融会练

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit. This is why culturally immersive (沉浸) travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel negatively affects the world. One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path, interacting with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucketlist”， if you will.
People who only get 2-week off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on. This isn't travel. This is a vacation. But “Immersive Travel” or “Cultural Travel” is an entirely new type of trip. It is about experiencing and preserving the various traditions around the world. It's about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another's shoes. Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you. It's eating local dishes and sleeping in guesthouses. It's building genuine connections with locals. It's learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.
Often times in today's age, “travelers” will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach. But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you're traveling to.
Beyond supporting the local communities and the preservation of local customs and traditions, you'll also experience some personal benefits through cultural travels. There's simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind. You'll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better. You'll also become less judgmental of others the more you travel.

Tips for healthy travel with children
Children make up a small but important group of travellers.Their smaller bodies and developing immune (免疫的) systems make their travel health needs important.__1__.
Vaccines (疫苗) for children
In general, there is a higher risk of most vaccine-preventable diseases when travelling abroad.__2__.If you are planning to travel, check whether your children's normal vaccine schedule needs to be changed to make sure that they are fully protected before travelling.
Malaria (疟疾) and children
__3__.Children are particularly at risk of developing severe malaria.If you must travel with children to a malaria risk area, visit a doctor to determine if anti-malarial medication is recommended.If anti-malarial medication is allowed to take, keep it in childproof containers and out of the reach of children.
Transportation risks
Air travel is safe for healthy children.__4__.Some airlines will not allow newborns to fly.Ear pain caused by changes in pressure during landing is more common in children than in adults.To lessen the pain, babies should be bottle-fed or breastfed.Older children can chew gum or be encouraged to swallow or yawn.
__5__
Signs and symptoms (症状) of altitude sickness in children are often mistaken for other illnesses.A child with altitude sickness may throw up, hate to eat, or be anxious.Older children may also show headaches, or difficulty breathing.As it is difficult to tell if a child is developing altitude sickness and since altitude sickness can develop rapidly in children, you may travel to no higher than 2,500 m (8,200 feet)．
A．High altitude sickness
B．Pack a travel health kit
C．Avoid taking children to areas with a risk of malaria
D．And these diseases tend to be more severe (严重的) in children than in adults

You can stop wherever you wish — where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night.

If you are ready to move your water adventures out to the open sea, then the touring kayak (皮船) may be for you. The touring kayak is bigger than the ordinary kayak to suit for the open waters. It also has other parts that will make your travels easier and safer. Since safety is the number one to care when it comes to any outdoor activity, these kayaks are designed with your safety in mind.
When you use touring kayaks to go out on the open waters you will find that they are much easier to handle than some of the other styles. Since some of the adventures that you may take can last for days, being easier to hold is a big help. They are also designed more for comfort and with lots of storage (储存) space for the same reason. You will be able to carry all the necessary equipment needed to make your trip a safe and exciting one.
Touring kayaks are designed to carry one or two people. Many people like to team up and go kayaking in group. It is also safe if you travel in numbers, because the touring kayak is designed heavier and larger, it could be very difficult to turn over.
Kayakers who go out on open waters usually enjoy spending a night by an open fire or combine some other hobbies such as photographing and bird watching. If you go out kayaking for one day or several days, please always follow the following safety tips to make sure you return home safety.

In some parts of China, mainly in Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, spread groups of grey-tiled and white-walled houses, forming one of the most typical scenes captured in traditional Chinese landscape paintings. It is Hui-style architecture, one of the major Chinese architectural styles of ancient times.
Hui-style architecture developed into a significant building school in the Song Dynasty. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, gardens and houses constructed with Hui styles developed very quickly along with the success of Hui commerce (商业). Hui-style architecture soon stepped out from Huizhou and was introduced to big towns.
Hui-style architecture is characterized by the arrangement of villages together with nature, and a simple and beautiful exterior (外观)．
Hui-style houses are usually ones with skylights (天井). With a square skylight surrounded by houses from four sides or from left, right and backside, these houses can reduce the beat of sunshine and enjoy ventilation (通风). All the houses gathers water from the skylight which means fortune will not run off outside.
In ancient times, the colors used for buildings were very strict. Bright colors could only be used in palaces, temples and for government officials. So people in Huizhou chose the black and white colors to paint their houses.
Generally speaking, the exterior appearance of Hui-style buildings differs little while their interior can vary a lot based on the wishes of the owners. Home decoration is characterized by three types of Hui carving: stone carving, wood carving and brick carving.
To take a look at the Hui-style architecture, Xidi Village in Yixian County, Anhui Province, is the best place to go. It is a site of typical Hui houses, and one of the “Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui” that have been collectively listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.
